The Belhaven man, who calls himself "Chane," fixed his 100th pothole Monday night, the same day the city issued a response to his citizen road repairs.

Last week, 16 WAPT News was the first to introduce you to Chane, who said he steals asphalt from the city to fix the roads.

He spoke with 16 WAPT News about the method behind his maintenance.

"We thought what the heck. It's kind of like Robin Hood for potholes. You go steal some asphalt from the city and you put it in the holes and when you get finished with it, you get spray paint and you put a big circle around it with a big shiny arrow right there to help the city see the potholes," said Chane.

Mayor Chokwe Lumumba released a statement saying he applauds people making reasonable community improvements but said, "We do not accept any use of the city's resources without going through the proper legal channels."

Chane said he has spent about $40 fixing the roads. He said he would like to fix 100 potholes.
